But as much as I look forward to hearing my therapist applaud my progress, I shove thoughts of him into the back of my mind and focus on the here and now. I have the girl ofmy dreams in my arms, and I’m determined not to fuck it up…again.

Olivia shifts and gently pushes me back into the futon’s lumpy cushion. She straddles my waist and leans over me. Her elevated position gives her control of the kiss, and I’ve never been happier to relinquish control. Her lips mold to mine. My hands rest on her hips, and my fingers flex with every brush of her tongue. I can’t help but imagine feeling her tongue on another part of my body.

As if reading my mind, Olivia’s hand slides between us. I inhale sharply when her palm presses against my erection.

She draws back. “Are you okay? Have you changed your mind?”

“Hell no,” I exhale with a near-breathless chuckle before my body stiffens. “Wait. Have you?”

Her wide eyes search mine, trying to determine if I’m being honest. “No,” she murmurs seconds later. Her voice is soft. “I haven’t.”

“Thank God.” I grab the base of her neck and pull her forward so our lips collide, refusing to allow her to misinterpret anything I do again. I want this. I wanther.And I plan to make that abundantly clear.

Our hands trail over each other’s bodies as if committing the feel of each other to memory. Olivia is soft in all the right places, but I feel the strength in her back and thighs. She’s never been an athlete, but she likes to run to stay healthy. Even when we were pre-teens, she knew the importance of taking care of your body. She’s always been put together. It’s one of the things I’ve always admired about her.

Our lips part as we come up for air. I take the opportunity to say, “Stay the night.”

Her eyes, once again, search mine. “Okay.” Her lips curve into a shy grin.

“Okay.” I nod. Then, in a move of impressive agility, I sit up and stand with her still straddling me. Olivia releases a gasp of surprise, but I capture the sound with my mouth as I walk us to my bedroom.

My heart is thudding in my chest. I’m sure Olivia must feel it. Nerves try to take control, but when I lay Olivia down on the bed and I see the way her brown strands fan out over my pillow, I’m hit with such a feeling of happiness that I nearly fall to my knees. This is my every fantasy come to life.

“What’s wrong?” Olivia asks.

“Nothing.” I shake my head. “You’re so beautiful.”

The hall light shines into the room. That’s how I see her blush. “Thank you.”

“I mean it, Liv.” I press a knee into the mattress and lean over her. “You’re gorgeous.”

Her palm presses against my chest. “You’re not so bad yourself.”

I grab her hand and bring it to my lips, smiling. “Not bad? Don’t you mean ‘devilishly handsome’?”

“I think you’re perfectly aware of how handsome you are.”

“Maybe.” I kiss her fingers.

She laughs softly.

“But seriously, you’re beautiful, Liv. I’m glad you invited me to the comedy show tonight.”

“Me too.” She lifts her chin and captures my lips once again. I settle between her legs, caging her head with my elbows, deepening the kiss.

Olivia’s hands slide down and grab the bottom of my shirt. In a smooth motion, she tugs it up. We separate long enough for her to pull the fabric over my head. I shiver when her fingers touch my bare chest.

“Is this okay?”

“More than okay.” I play with the bottom of her blouse.

“Want to make it equal?” she asks with a chuckle.

I lift her shirt in response and suck in a breath as I take in her naked torso, covered only by a lacey black bra. She’s a vision. My teenage mind didn’t do her justice.

I bend down and kiss her stomach. Her muscles flex beneath my lips, but she doesn’t stop me. Her fingers dive into my hair. Encouraged by her touch, I trail my kisses lower until I reach her waistband. With a flick of two fingers, I have her pants unbuttoned and slide them down her toned legs. Her panties match her bra, but I don’t spend long admiring them before I am fueled by lust and press my tongue to the smooth fabric between her legs.

“Derek!” She arches off the bed. I gently press her stomach back down.
